Fingers crossed. It only took 10 minutes of my time to sign up for an eu account and such so no skin off my back if it works.

i got it but i wish it was also NA too that way I could play the vita version. Man the vita only being able to use 1 account per memory card is so dumb, especially with the vita tv existing.(also lol at the vita tv not even being able to use netflix, i just found that out. i facepalmed in real life when i found that out)
Free Minecraft is your compensation. I'll take it.
Hey, don't try to justify theft to me.

Probably because the Playstation Store team is somehow separate from the Drive Club studio.

Lmao! I'm still waiting on that. Have they spoken about the issue?
Anyway I was planning on buying the game later on. No US doesn't bother me. But for everyone who got it hope you enjoy it.

I think this a test of how much interest I have in minecraft. Even at the bargain price of Free, I still have no desire in downloading.
Thinking if I get Korean, HK, Japanese, UAE, US, UK, and maybe German I will have it covered ;p

Since Microsoft bought Mojang does this mean that there are Microsoft trademarks/verbiage on a Sony console?!?! haha

No, the deal hasn't been finalized.
And there's Microsoft branded games on Nintendo's handhelds.

Drive Club PS+, hook people up! Hook them on that crack.
The games are not being stolen, they are being given for free due to a bug on the store, which is Sony's fault. The developers and publishers of the games are not being hurt at all because I'm pretty damn sure Sony is accountable for the bug and so they will presumably pay the equivalent costs to 4J Studios.

Fixing a price on a store turns out to be easier than fixing massive server issues, news at 11.
I'm getting the same error other people are getting - that I can't add the PS3 version because I have the vita version...
the vita version is still $19.75 tho
its in my purchase history....
hmm... oh well I can't play first person games without getting motion sickness tho so doesn't matter either way.

I was trying to think of some, I know it's not remotely the same but it kind of reminds me of when Sega first debuted a Nintendo game haha. Again definitely not the same circumstance but it's interesting.

Edit: oh ya, deal not finalized...nvm
Same for me. Oh well.
Crazy... I accidentally did this this morning. I downloaded the demo onto my Vita, and then decided to check how much the PS3 version was. I'd already downloaded the demo of that version previously, and it gave me the option to download the full game to my PS3, even though it says it's $19.95... I have no idea if it will let me play it though.
And now I just checked and I can download the Vita version too. It will be interesting to see if it lets me play them when it does its license check

So the PS4 version was just a demo?
To be fair, the PSN store teams make inconvenient mistakes for the customer all the time so it is just fair that some are in our advantage

Looks like it.
When I want to download the PS3-version it tells me I can't because I already own the Vita-version, but when I download the Vita-version and I want to boot it it tells it's just the demo and I have to unlock the full game. No idea how some people are still getting the Vita-version for free. Oh well... I'll probably buy it soon anyway.
Oh in that case it is perfectly ethical.....
brb, I think my well-to-do neighbor forgot to lock his garage door, good thing he has insurance to pay for me ... acquiring... his car.

It's only the trial on PS4. Asks you to buy the full game.
I'm just wondering, does this glitch apply to the US PSN as well? Tried the same trick on my main NA account and it didn't work
As other people have already said, no.
Says I can't do it on EU as I own Minecraft Vita ( I only downloaded the PS3 and VITA demo). Please help GAF.
I don't think it works anymore, if it does... you were suppose to 'buy' PS3 Demo then Vita Demo, and go back to PS3 to grab the full game.

It seems like they missed the money for at least one copy
Ahem
And even if that wasn't the case: they wouldn't miss the money for the one copy because Sony is held accountable to pay for it.

I... I think this worked. Minecraft PS Vita is in my download list, no mention of it being a trial version anywhere. Downloaded from the buy page too
Edit: Nope, was just the trial version

Oh, I was talking about how Sony is losing money as this also happened with sly4, gow,jak, starlight inception and now minecraft. :|
Correct me if I'm wrong, you are saying that because they have chosen to give buyers of the retail version the same access to cross buy as the people that buys it through PSN, that it doesn't matter if people are getting it for free through the glitch?

How big is Minecraft on the Vita? The Vita store page just says 25kb minimum, but it says the same thing on the demo page and that's 157 MB.
It is. Across PS4, PS3 and Vita.

Picked them all up last night, tested the Vita version and it's certainly the full one as the trophies were popping, not tested the PS4 yet.

I can't download any complete version since I've purchased both demos (PS3 and PSV).
Is it disabled?
